Funny thing is, the most humane and painless and quick exicution method is death by Gillotine.

The irony is this is coming from Penn - who is known to be into S&M.

the reason Decapitation isnt in common practice is because of accounts of the "head" still being alive and able to look around for up to 20 seconds... quick but not quite painless. its called Lucid Decapitation see article if you wish http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=495

I dont understand this and maybe someone can clear it up.

If your given the death penalty, who the fuck cares if you suffer, the people they probably killed didn't die in a humaine way so why should the killer. Just aslong as you end up dead, it doesnt matter because when your dead you cant complain.

Good movie though, raises some good arguements

The death penelty is great! Look at all those people not killing eachother anymore because of it! And it doesn't cost millions of dollars each time either! But hey! Don't you ever think about having an abortion!! It's only right to kill eachother sometimes! Violence is the answer everyone!

The death penalty is pre-meditated murder in its purest form. The ultimate violation of a human being. A pre-planned ritual, whose sole purpose is to cause death.

What do you expect though, we're talking about America. $=more than human life to them.

Utterly degrading.

^ You can make an argument that disgust for evil and violent acts is far greater in the United States than on most parts of the World.

The fact the United States goes through the unpleasantness of the death penalty demonstates that they have a high moral core.

Of course, we could also talk about the nature of psychopathology.

Two things:

1. I dont like how Penn keeps claiming that execution is proper Biblical tradition. I guess he never read that pesky little "thou shalt not kill" phrase or any of the new testament for that matter.

2. The argument that these people must be killed because they will reoffend is ludacris considering most of them are put to death decades after they committed their crimes.

^^^ I also don't like how Penn keeps claiming that these criminals are human beings. They kill innocent people in cold blood, they aern't human beings, they're MONSTERS.

That sucks. I hope that Agnus doesn't teach in English. I would hate to be taking her class. I am sick to fucking death of instructors that are hard to understand. It should be a requirement to learn better freakin' English before they can teach.
